Okay everyone, here it is! I’ve been kind of nervous to post this cuz it’s not what I would normally show you guys but I’ve wanted to do this for a while so I’m finally doing it. I’ve wanted to make this account a little more about not only the horses I ride, but also about how I manage and make time for them, seeing as I go to university and have a part-time job in addition to riding the pons. So I use this system called bullet journaling to keep everything organized. If you swipe you can see two of my spreads I’ve been using to plan and track my progress with Aachen. The thing I love about this system is that I can do literally whatever I want with it, so it can be as simplistic or as creative as I’m feeling at that moment. It does take a bit of time to lay out, but I find it saves so much time in the long run that it’s worth it. 😌 do any of you use the bujo system? If so tag me in your posts about it, I’d love to see!

This brought a tear to my eye 🥰

What can I say about Anne Charlotte, friend and teacher? I suppose I need to start by explaining that I am a fifty something, height impaired, wonky donkey of a rider. Not only that I have the bravery of the cowardly lion, and the brain of well a holy sieve. I do however love my pony, and want to progress. Ancha sees everything, I mean every little cheating or wayward part of me, but knows just what the key is to helping me gradually self correct, and so help my little talented and long suffering coblet just go better and better. When you get something, when it clicks in body and mind, Ancha is jumping about and squeaking in her Norwegian Scots accent, and gradually by chipping away she has me sitting straighter, with my head on top, and my pony and I doing more than I ever dreamed. We talk of goals for 2019, and a move up to medium at the end of the Summer. If Ancha believes we can do it, I know it is possible if we work together. I know, if Ancha says something is good, it really is good, if it is bad... she will say so; how else can you learn. We laugh, at ourselves and each other, every lesson is fun as well as hard work. Ancha listens to my pony, and knows my physical challenges, and joins me in my dreams for the future with my Eeyore. What more could I ask for from a teacher, mentor and a friend.

The only thing I have control over is how I react, I have no control over other people’s reactions. Yet we tend to make these reactions personal. ⠀
In horse training, a horse reacts a certain way to tell us something. It’s up to us not to take the reaction personally and to see it for what it is - information. It’s what we do with the information that really counts! ✌🏼💕⠀

🔊 Aaaaand this is what happens when he has barn-mates. He neighed another seven times on the way out, and eight on the way back. 😐 literally the NOISIEST I have ever heard him in the eight years I have owned him! 🎥@making.some.dough #adventureswithyanos

So yesterday the ponies got there first day of turnout and they absolutely loved it!!!! We’re going to start posting more videos/photos of us schooling, jumping or even just videos of the horses as we are only just starting to get ready for the summer season!
